My vote goes to Eheim-Jager for brand....what size tank?

What brand is your digital thermometer?

I'd recommend a titanium heater, 250W-350W.

TIP: Get a Reef Keeper Lite or something similar. Set the RKL to 79 degrees and set the temp on the heater to 83.

You need a temp control device to safe guard the system from the heater.

As for the heater, just spend the extra money for a good one.

Match the temp on your digital therm with that of a reg therm - possibly your digital thermometer is off. Just a thought.

your sure thats right? I think if your running a chiller that can be right but if not maybe your thermometer is off. My tank with AC on 70degs my tank stays at 80-81 with leds

Via Aqua, hands down the best heater you can buy. Titanium, external controller, killer reviews, competitively priced... You'll never buy another brand heater once you get one of these.

 

[Mattl22]

99% sure

It was checked by a laser thermometer
b4 the digital I was using a mercury old fashion one I think it was off I brought the temp up to 79 over course of a day and a half

I hope this helps my growth

Titanium

Does the controller automatically shut off the heater when it hits 79 ???

But, did you use a NIST Thermocouple thermometer w/ 3 flux capacitors?

 

[Mattl22]

Back to the future lol?
